MGTO calls on city’s budding performers to take part in parade around city centre on 24 and 28 January.
MGTO, IFTM, Sands China and Wynn Macau all picked for outstanding contribution to tourism in region’s most prestigious annual awards.
Daily arrivals average 29,000; hotels 80% full, with room rates just short of MOP 960; still a long way to go before returning to pre-pandemic levels.
As Macao marked National Day with official celebrations, city’s shops, entertainment venues and restaurants reported brisk business.
Themed Long Live the Motherland, The Golden Days, Shared Vision into a Better Future and Build the Chinese Dream Together, display will last for around 15 minutes.
Aim is to promote events and exchange of talent and develop high-quality tourism industry for two regions.
Figures up 62% on last month’s average, hotel occupancy rates increase slightly, but all-in-all a poor contrast to pre-Covid-19 when arrivals were measured in millions.
Arrivals up on August; ‘Stay, Dine and See Macao’ tours continue to appeal to locals with more than 40,000 hotel packages sold.
